The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the catalog data is almost certainly a database artifact — the Canadian Bank Note Company printed this 1998 series for Venezuela, and the 1945 date bears no plausible relationship to a note of this denomination or type. Disregard it.
Venezuela's late-1990s high-denomination notes were a direct consequence of inflation that had been grinding purchasing power down since the 1980s oil price collapse and subsequent bolívar devaluations. By 1998, 50,000 bolívares was a functional everyday denomination, not a prestige issue. The OVI security ink was a relatively recent addition to Venezuelan notes at this point in the series.
